Who are the russians rooting for?

I am for Khabib in this fight. Conor is exciting, but we don't (shouldn't) want 155 held up again with a champion refusing to defend. I like these fun debates though, I am Slavic but support athletes between the Kaspian and Black seas.

I love wrestling and have no problem rooting for them in national/international tournaments. Same with some boxers too.
Think if there were more guys like you in Russia (both on Slavic and Caucasian side) then the country would be more stronger.
 
When Kadyrov sent thugs to beat up and rape Fedors daughters and Khabib still stands beside Kadyrov..most Russians don't like that.
 
Its bad. Its not even a "political correctness" thing. Its a human decency thing. They were treating him as a subhuman. Like getting a puppy to fetch, or a seal to jump out of the water and take a fish from your hand. There was never a moment where I thought they had an regard or decency towards him. It should be a universal belief that you dont treat people that way.
Im conservative, and the furthest thing from a snlowflake, but it was shitty
I've seen screenshot from what supposed to be an instagram page of Abubakar - Khabib's cousin from video it was "I announce a pushup contest. Those who have home can't take part in it".
 
Those youtube channels are only for Russians sice they never have titles like "Chechen beats Russian". Anyway my point was that those forums or vk pages like "Best of MMA" can get cancerous. When a post like "those Churkas poisoned Goltsov" gets over 100 likes then its pretty obvious that you shouldn't take them serious ;).
BTW thanks for the info about Goltsov - I've seen people in comments joking about him and something about Vikings or Nordic and I didn't get why they were calling him like that.
And picture I've seen recently about Khabib

Even khabib's dad will be rooting for Connor

1. Why is Khabib required to bring the Russian flag? why do these Russians(again those at the forums) hate Khabib because he doesnt bring the flag? Mustafaev, Rashid Magomedov and Zabit dont wear the Russian flag yet this post says that they like Zabit. Khabib has never said anything bad about Russians or Russia and has even said "we are 140 million" as a praise to Russia. Also it showed how much these guys loved Makhachev when he was knocked out in the Martins fight, they screamed that he was a "can" and gifs of him being knocked out are still shown in every post about him.

2. Khabib said he would fight McGregor for free when Conor was a champ, he said this while Conor was snorting coke and not defending his belt. What happened? Conor lost his belt and Khabib won. Khabib even said several times "i dont care about this guy anymore" since he is out of the question after losing the belt. Now Conor wants to come back and fight Khabib and it should be dictated the way Khabib wants (he is the champ). There are different rules now.

3. This argument is one of the dumbest, Lobov talked shit about Khabib and said he would slap him if he ever saw him. Khabib went up to him alone(yes there were others but they stood back) and talked to Lobov, Lobov chickened out and ran away. Artem knows that he has to answer for his words, especially in East Europe. When McGregor came and threw his trolly Khabib was cutting weight and was 1 day away from a title fight. Khabib never ran, he stood and looked at McGregor(doors were closed) this all took place in a minute. If McGregor would have been a man he would have offered to step in to fight Khabib instead of throwing a trolly and running away.

4. What even is this bullshit? lol Khabib TOOK the fight against Ferguson, then Ferguson got injured, Khabib took the fight vs Holloway(injured) then Pettis(didnt get enough money) and then Iaquinta in ONE day. Imagine the psychological toll on a person to switch so many opponents in one day. Khabib never backed down from anyone, he was given a fight and accepted it. He defeated Iaquinta with relative ease and won the Championship. He is the champ no matter what and had this happened to a Ethnic Russian then those in the forums would not have a problem with it.

5. Khabib wins vs Tibau is debated, some think he won (including me) and some dont. It doesnt matter it happened years ago, Khabib dominated Rafael Dos Anjos who later became a champ. He defeated Barboza, Iaquinta and Michael Johnson easily right after. Those are all top fighters. Nikita Krylov and Oleksiy Oleynik are more loved even though they have dont have better resume than Khabib. So again hypocrisy.

6. Again whenever a Caucasian loses the very same that have these arguments post videos of Caucasians getting submitted or knocked out.

Whoever wrote this is as bad as some sherdoggers!... saying Gleison Tibau beat Khabib, lol. A fight that was 6 years ago.. very relevant

Dude, ive read your posts in this thread, and you really seem to know what youre talking about. Not because I agree with you on any certain point, but you really seem to be "in the know". Alot of us, including me, are just guessing or going on emotion
 
lol Conor is 100% a chav. no fancy suits are gonna change that.

1 - I think it started with Abdulmanap saying that UFC doesn't allow him or Khabib to bring Russian flag. About cans - in best of mma I've seen when news about Pavlovich signing with UFC emerged on the first page of comments some guy called him a can (but I think guy might be from Caucasus because his name and surname kinda Muslim) or there were info that Mokhnatkin is in talks with UFC and I've seen comment at valetudo that it's just lie/fantasy of his manager and when there were another news or update about UFC being interested in Mokhnatkin I think the same guy posted that it's stupid decision from UFC 'cause Mokhnatkin is one of the most boring fighters in Russia. I mean, people make fun and calls every Russian fighter a can, or invent not nice names for them Fedor-:eek::eek::eek::eek:r, Mineev-Minetov.
I think Krylov and Oleinik receives some kind of hate for being from Ukraine but supporting all this separatist and Krylov was kinda trolled in interview when interviewer asked him what's the difference between Chechen separatists in Russia in 1990s and separatist in Ukraine and Krylov said that he doesn't know and he doesn't know story with Russia and Chechnya that good.
 
So why not let them go?
I think most Russian patriots will say that because Dagestan will either turn into local part of ISIS or it will turn into not very pro-Russian country and allie of US and will welcome NATO bases into it.

The russians have found an excuse to hold onto that region for far longer than isis and NATO

Russian fans in general or Caucasians? weird for Russians to say that about Fedor?
 
MMA fans probably root for Khabib. people that dont know much about MMA root for that loud-mouthed baboon, simply because he is more popular and appeals to their mentality more.
 
Russian fans in general or Caucasians? weird for Russians to say that about Fedor?
In general. Some fans don't like him for his involvment with politics, some for his mma union, some thinks that he ovverated. So there were conflict between his mma union and amateur mma tournaments and amateur mma tournaments hold by Taktarov, if I'm not mistaken recent story was like that - Kadyrov's promotion again had kids mma fight at their event and kids competed at Taktarov\s event - Fedor said something about Taktarov and kids fight and Taktarov said that it wasn't mma fight, like different rules and stuff and I think either him or fans said some negative shit, like why Fedor mentioned Taktarov's kids fight but turnes blind eye on kids fight happening again in Kadyrov's promotion.
